Course content
Become an expert on Iran – looking at politics, contemporary history, language, culture, art, and international relations within the Middle East and beyond.
This is a unique programme, run by very few universities worldwide. At SOAS, you’ll have the benefit of studying in the centre of London, have the opportunity to learn Persian and other Middle Eastern languages, and link with research centres such the Centre for Iranian Studies and the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies.
The Iranian Studies MA's flexible programme and interdisciplinary curriculum will enrich students’ knowledge about the religious and politico-cultural influences affecting contemporary Iran and the region it is embedded in. Students will develop a critical understanding of the literature and/or of Iran and the diaspora and gain an understanding of Iran in the context of the Middle East with respect to gender, politics, Islam, music, and migration.
